Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I think that is taylor series expansion, How that can be expanded right that? even b0, b1 ... is not a differential term.

The solution just use b(z) = Bz(0,z)

Hint: Try taking the divergence and see what you can do with the ##b_{n}## terms algebraically.
